Prices shown are typical for 10–25 users. Final scope depends on your assessment.

Assessments, audits, and remediation are scoped separately from per-user support — the work is different, and a real starting number beats a "custom" placeholder.

Medical and dental practices. Written risk analysis, remediation plan, policy set, and BAA register — the documentation an OCR investigator asks for first.

From $6,500
one-time

FTC Safeguards Program (GLBA)

Accountants, bookkeepers, lenders, and dealers. Written information security program, designated Qualified Individual, and annual review.

From $4,500
